| Abstract | The vibrational energy states of the center-of-mass motion for an atom trapped by the optical dipole potential due to a cavity mode are calculated. In particular, a sodium atom between two conducting plates is considered with its dipole moment vector orientated parallel to the plates. The negative detuning situation and appropriate parameters are chosen in order to maintain a sufficient depth for the central well. Variations of the vibrational states with the mode intensity, longitudinal velocity, and plates separation are examined and discussed. |
